Introduction Bedlam is another new adventure from Radio Shack. There are no hidden treasures to find, no wealth to amass, no score to beat. There is only one goal–get out, if you can. Your success depends totally upon your resourcefulness and your ability to think clearly. There is always one way out, but be warned–the exit changes each time you load the game, Your computer and the instructions you give are the keys to your escape. Bedlam recognizes commands like GO WEST or GET THE KEY.
There are times during the game when you might be in serious danger. One particular resident of Bedlam can create problems, which only a well-timed [P][L][U][G][H] can cure. You must choose your allies wisely from among the people you meet. Good Luck. I really hope you make it. Who knows? You may even be lucky the first couple of times and get out easily. You may not be quite so lucky the next time you try to escape.

Failure to release the [ENTER] key quickly will result in turning the cassette recorder on and the program will not start.
Converting Bedlam to Disk (For Advanced Users Only) Bedlam is designed to operate in the low 16K of RAM. This is also the area where TRSDOS loads. (That's why you have to prevent DOS from loading by holding down the [BREAK] key when loading a cassette tape into a disk system.) To use the program from diskette, you must use DEBUG (plus TAPE and RELO for Model III users) to enter one or two machine language programs to first move Bedlam up above TRSDOS (to store it), then move Bedlam down (to play the game).
You can now press the [ENTER] key to leave the Modify mode. Look at the line and compare it to the line above.

You can simply press the space bar till the pair of vertical lines are positioned on either side of the incorrect entry. Type the correct two digits and press the space bar to store the change. After the changes are made, press [ENTER] to exit the Modify mode at this address.
